Ben-Day Dot Series, my latest contribution to a project that goes back and forth with Ben DiNino (see slide 6 for the piece I riffed with), and you can keep swiping to see many of the previous iterations. #it_started_with_a_photograph

Collage on matte board and collage on matte board on book cover using a print of
@biblioexcavations ’ The Arts of Mankind, scanned at 6400 dpi, then reprinted 20x larger. A nod to something from my childhood and also Ben's Paint By Number Deconstruction Series. As the magpie art goddess would have it, the day after I made these, I went to the
@sugarwall.gallery art walk and there was an entire stairwell wall covered with vintage paint by numbers, and that same night my daughter started a paint by number at a sleepover.
In 1989 I remember going to Army and Navy in New Westminster, BC eating the best chocolate malt in a small styrofoam coffee cup at the small cafeteria downstairs. I remember working on a small activity pack in a cellophane bag with a long skinny clear glue with a dobber on the end, a line art rooster or a bird on something smaller than 8.5x11 made of geometric shapes, and precut triangles, circles and other shapes of coloured paper, thin and white on one side like origami paper… like a paint by number kit but collage by shape. It felt 70s and not crazy 80s art deco because the colours were muted. Does anyone remember this?
@lizruest @girlsanddinosaurs @daniellekrysaart @jcraig.va @aimeehennybrown It's ungoogleable. The most similar thing I could find was Colorforms and gummed cut outs.
